When we talk about Brazil mostly the first thing that comes to our mind is the Amazon rainforest, and few people know about the problems that we are facing another very important forest, The Atlantic Forest, that can be considered even more worrying. Some data says that while Amazonia has lost 19% of its original tree cover, the Atlantic Forest has lost more than 80%. INPE the National Institute for Space Research found that 102,938 hectares were destroyed during the three years. The annual loss of 34,121 hectares per year was 2.4 percent lower than the 34,965 ha recorded from the 2000-2005 period.
Colonization and exploration have contributed to the area's destruction. At the begging of 1500, the Brazilian Atlantic Forest covered about one million square kilometers of eastern and southern Brazil, representing 12% of Brazil’s total land. Nowadays, only 8% of its original size exists, according to the SOS MATA ATLÂNTICA and INPE.
Since the year of1986 INPE and the NGO SOS Mata Atlantica are monitoring the biome, that is protected under federal law through a measure which has been endorsed by all 17 states in the region. It is so important to restore this forest, that would help the planet as a whole by curbing emissions and also helping the wellbeing of the countries population, benefiting Brazil's biggest cities, such as Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, that were used to be surrounded by the area.

Hi, this is Sang Su mentor.
Knowing that forest is called the 'lung,' I am so sad to hear that deforestation in Brazil is actively ongoing. It is indeed a big problem that humans' greed is limitless and as the result natural habitat is destroyed. I hope people would aware this serious situation soon and stop deforestation.
Thank you for a nice report.

Hello Fernanda pioli macedo! This is mentor Taehyun!
Thank you for writing about the Atlantic rainforest. The Amazon rainforest is called the lungs of the earth. Because the amazon rainforest emits a big amount of oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide(which is greenhouse gas). Sadly lung of the earth is now destroyed by an illegal logging company. But I'm glad to hear that Brazil is now monitoring the rainforest. It is really helpful for our earth! I hope the rainforest to be restored as soon as possible!
Thank you for the report!
Green cheers!
